Heading back to college? Find everything you need on KSL Classifieds

Registering for classes, finding housing, buying textbooks — prepping for college can feel a little overwhelming. And expensive. At least you can find all your college essentials in one convenient, budget-friendly place. Shop for everything you need on KSL Classifieds, the site for local deals in Utah.

1. Housing

First things first, you’ll need a place to live while you’re away at school. Search KSL Homes for roommate-friendly apartments for rent. You can filter by location, so you can find housing near the University of Utah, Utah State University, Brigham Young University or any of Utah’s other campuses. If you’re looking to share a space, narrow your search by single room and/or student contracts. Choose additional comfort filters such as amenities and pet-friendly housing to find the perfect place.

As a student, you may doing homework late at night.

2. Electronics

You could use the college computers. But at 3 a.m., it’s so much more convenient to submit homework from the comfort of your own apartment. Save some cash — and avoid future stress — by shopping for laptops, monitors, tablets and printers on KSL Classifieds. 

You’ll have happier roommates if you use headphones during your online classes or downtime streaming. You might want some Bluetooth speakers for movie night, though.

3. Furniture

Many apartments come with basic furnishings, such as a couch and kitchen table. But to be more comfortable, you may want a few extra items. Search KSL Classifieds for a bookshelf to store your stuff, a desk and supportive chair for doing homework, and a colorful rug so your room feels less utilitarian. Though your bed is comfy, you may appreciate having a beanbag for reading or relaxing.

If the bedroom is unfurnished (be sure to check before moving day), you’ll need a mattress. Remember a bed frame so you don’t have to sleep on the floor.

4. Kitchen supplies

Even if you plan to eat on campus, you’ll likely want a home-cooked meal (or treat) on occasion. Mom’s well-stocked kitchen won’t be there, so you’ll need to get a few basic cooking supplies of your own. Find affordable kitchenware on KSL such as cookware, dishes and utensils. You’ll want to avoid plastic plates, bowls and cups if you’ll be using a microwave.

Consider how you’ll be doing most of your cooking. Small appliances such as an air fryer and blender make snack and meal prep a breeze — something your growling tummy will appreciate. A mini fridge can be handy too.

It may be easier to find a parking spot for a scooter than a car on campus.

5. Transportation

If you’re traveling to a campus far from home, you’ll need a reliable vehicle to get you there — and back home for breaks. KSL Cars has thousands of solid vehicles under $10,000. Look for one that can fit all your stuff for moving.

If you don’t want to deal with the headache of on-campus parking, invest in a bike or motorized scooter for campus commuting. If you’re heading to one of Utah’s larger campuses, you may appreciate a skateboard or scooter to get from one class to the next quickly.
